LION CAUSED A COMMOTION Its Appsarance on Street Also Incidentally Led to a Lavish Display of Hosiery. A lion in a Jersev City railway station wriggled out of his cage the other day and created a mild panic. Os course, as the immortal weaver iustly observes in the Shakespeare fantasy, “a lion among ladies is u most dreadful thing,’’ and the ability and hosiery displayed upon the untoward occasion seems to have been extremely hurried and generous. It is said by his keeper that there was no danger. The lion was an advanced neutral. He was out for food, tut not for food of the primitive typo. The glowing charms and smclllness of the railway restaurant had lured him te the point of breaking his b. :;d.-. With a hop, skip and leap he would have reached the h.-nch counter, and in less than three seconds by a Hackensack hour glass would have had the place to himself. When his keeper arrived on the scene the unhappy king of tho forest had decided to divide his attention between a fossil doughnut and a concrete pie. As the rude chaperon fastened a thumb and finger in the leonine ear and pushed him back into his cage, fie roared dolefully—the lion roared dele; fully—and there is no doubt the roar spelled acute mental indigestion Thus ended another of those rare episodes that help to break the deadly monotony of New Jersey life. —Cleveland Plain Dealer. KNITTING GOOD FOR NERVES Revival of Pastime Is One of the Few Good Results of the War in Europe. One of the few good results of the European war has been to make thousands of men, women and children learn to knit. There is nothing better for nerves that are unstrung and need toning up, ph/a ! ians say, than knitting. For many years every man in the British army, from the men in the ranks to the commanding gonorais. has been taught to kr.it, and now, thanks to the demand for warm socks and mufflers for the soldiers at the front, the practice is spreading to all walks of life. The monotony of plying the needles in and out c f the tiny loops is . 4 ely soothing to tired brains and nerves. The effect is similar to that produced by counting sheep, which is recorn mended by many as a method of inducing sleep Once the art of knitting is mastered you can pursue it without giving your plying fingers either thought or sight. In the London parks these days you can see hundreds of convalescent soldiers, their fingers busy with knitting, while their eyes are occupied in watching what is going on around them. No Profit in Irish Sugar Beets. While sugar beets can be successfully grown in Ireland, writes Consul Wesley Frost, from Queenstown, their culture would probably not be profitable, according to a statement just Issued by the head of the department of agriculture and technical instruction for Ireland. The fact has been established that a normal price for sugar beets will yield less per acre than the normal prices for potatoes or mangels. As the sugar beet industry would not be successful under the ordinary conditions of peace, the department does not feel “prepared to take, directly or indirectly, any responsibility for advising Irish farmers to grow beet root.” It is added that whatever may be the results of England’s exclusion of sugar, therefore, in flcotland and England, it seems safe to assume, that sugar production will not be developed in Ireland. —New York Times.

Easily Qualified. A Lancashire man in London, wishing to Join the London Scottish, was met with the nationality problem, and admitted he was not a Scotchman. The recruiting officer was willing to stretch a point or two if possible, so he asked the Lancastrian: “Have you any relations or property In Scotland?” “No,” was the reply. "You are quite sure?” queried the sergeant “Howd on a bit,” said the recruit, ns a light came into his eyes. “By y n. I’d forgotten for a minute. Aw’ve a pair o’ trousers bein’ cleaned at Perth Dyeworks!” “Strip,” said the officer; “you’re qualified!” Lack Serious Feadlng, Prof. Bliss Perry, in the Youth’s Companion, deplores the lack of serious reading on the part of college men. “Their ignorance of the great books of the last three hundred years, even in their own literature,” he says, “is amazing.” When it comes to the classics, Professor T> erry says: “I do not believe that there are twenty-five undergraduates of either Yale or Hai vard who have read, during the last academic year, twenty-five pages of a Latin or Greek book simply for their own pleasure and profit in reading and without reference to the demands of the curriculum.” Birds Fear Sounds of War. The roar of loud artillery in Europe may possibly have diverted or retarded the movements of birds on their migratory course. A curious effect is noticeable in the midlands of England, where swallows and martins arc loath to leave.
